- W1966841620 abstract "Extensional structures characterize significant parts of the North Atlantic Caledonides. Silurian extensional deformation took place, particularly in the heated crust in the southern Greenland Caledonides, but the majority of the mapped extensional structures are Devonian (403-380 Ma). They formed by reactivation of low-angle Caledonian thrusts and by the formation of hinterland-dippingshear zones, of which thelargestsystem is locatedin SWNorway andrelated toexhumation ofthesubductedmarginofBaltica.TheDevonian extensionwas concentratedtothe central and southern part of the Caledonides, with maximum extension occurring in the area between the Western Gneiss Region of SW Norway and the Fjord Region of East Greenland. Kin- ematic data indicate that the main tectonic transport direction was toward the hinterland, and this pattern suggests that the main Devonian extension/transtension in the southern part of the North Atlanticregionwaspostcontractionalwhilestrike-slipmotionsandpossiblytranspressionoccurred farther north. Late Devonian to enigmatic Early Carboniferous ages from UHP metamorphic assemblages in NE Greenland suggest that intracontinental subduction was going on in NE Greenland at a time when extensional deformation governed the rest of the orogenic belt. The Caledonian orogen as exposed in Norway, Greenland and the northern British Isles (Fig. 1) have traditionally been investigated with an eye for contractional structures. Thrusting as a model for explaining the stratigraphic relations in the Scottish Highlands was already presented in 1858 by James Nicol on his Geological Map of Scotland, althoughnot generally accepted or well documented until the results of Peach and Horne's mapping during the last part of the18th century were pub- lished (Peach et al.1907).In the Scandinavian Cale- donidestheSwedishgeologistAlfredE.Tornebohm suggested substantial thrusting of Caledonian units in 1888. It would take several decades before his theory won general acceptance among Scandina- vian geologists, but since the early 1900s a large number of geologists have mapped a complex system of thrust and thrust-related structures throughout the Scandinavian, British and Greenland Caledonides.
